Websites for missionaries and the people who send them.
We build for ministries in Uganda, Colombia, and here at home. Sites light enough to load in the field, giving wired to the organization that receives it, and a second language done properly when supporters read one and the community you serve reads the other.
Missionaries and mission organizations get discounted pricing. Support money is raised a little at a time from people who gave it on purpose, and we would rather it went further.
What a missions site needs that a business site does not.
Most web shops have never built one and treat it like any other small site. These are the four places that assumption breaks, and they're the reason ministries keep sending us to each other.
-
01
Giving that goes where it can be received
A field ministry usually can't take United States donations directly, and a supporter wants a receipt from a registered organization. So the Give button shouldn't be a generic payment form. We wire it to whichever sending church or agency already handles your funds, which is how the two ministry sites below are set up. -
02
Two languages, both of them real
Your supporters read English and the community you serve may not. We build the second language as a genuine translated site with the right language tags, so search engines serve the correct one and neither version feels like an afterthought. A translate widget dropped on an English page isn't the same thing and it reads that way. -
03
Light enough to load where you serve
Your supporters browse on fast connections at home. The people you serve, and your own team checking it from the field, often do not. We hand-write these rather than assembling them from a page builder, convert and size every image, and serve fonts from the site itself, so the page opens on a slow connection and doesn't burn through a metered one. -
04
We keep it running while you're there
The person responsible for the website is often eight time zones away with other priorities. An optional monthly care plan checks links, speed, uptime, and accessibility and fixes what needs fixing, so the site doesn't quietly rot between furloughs. You own the domain, the hosting, and the files regardless.
Before you ask.
- Do you offer a discount for missionaries and mission organizations?
- Yes. Missionaries and mission organizations get discounted pricing. Support money is raised a little at a time from people who gave it on purpose, and we'd rather it went further. Tell us who you're and what you're trying to build and we'll quote it that way from the start.
- Can donations go through our sending organization?
- Yes, and that's usually the right answer rather than a payment button on the site. Most field ministries can't receive United States donations directly, and donors want a receipt from a registered organization. We wire the giving path to whichever sending church or agency already handles your funds, so a supporter clicks Give and lands somewhere their gift is properly received.
- Can the site work in more than one language?
- Yes. We build the second language as a real translated site with the correct language tags for search engines, not a translate widget bolted onto an English page. Supporters read one version and the community you serve reads the other.
- Our internet in the field is slow. Will the site still work?
- That's exactly what we build for. These are hand-written rather than assembled from a page builder, every image is converted and sized properly, and the fonts come from the site itself. The page opens on a connection that chokes on most sites. You don't have to update it from out there either. Send us the news and we'll publish it.
- Who updates the site once we're back in the field?
- We can. There's an optional monthly care plan that checks links, speed, uptime, and accessibility and fixes what needs fixing, which matters more than usual when the person responsible is eight time zones away. You own the domain, the hosting, and the files either way.
